Abstract

The substrate specificity of 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase was studied. The data showed for the first time that the enzyme can cleave single-stranded deoxyoligonucleotides containing an 8-oxoG link. The values of Km and Vmax for a range of single-stranded and double-stranded oligonucleotides (23 bp) containing 8-oxoG at different positions of one chain. These parameters consistently depended on the position of 8-oxoG in single-stranded or double-stranded substrates. A possible mechanism responsible for substrate recognition by 8-oxoguanine-DNA glycosylase is described.
